Is it possible to list all files to a CBFS' virtual drive and support all file operations handled by SecureBlackBox? Is there an easier way to do this? I would like to have a project like the SFTP Disk Sample Project but using WebDav instead.

Thanks! It's incredibly slow though, I tried connecting the webdav server using net use and it's not that slow, so It has something to do with the program (not my internet connection and the webdav server.) Is it possible to cut down the number of requests? I noticed that it explores directory and files even I am not doing anything.

CBFS just translates OS requests to the backend protocol. It is possible that the sample is not as optimal as it could be, but there's not much we can improve there. Explorer is extremely inefficient when it comes to filesystem requests. WebDAV client in Explorer sends 5-6 requests when other clients send just one. It's the same with other filesystems as well.

It's just a sample. It can be made faster by adding, for example, some local cache for the remote data.
I think the main problem with too many requests is Explorer, which reads files in order to obtain thumbnails and other file properties. It is possible to decrease number of such requests by the use of network mounting points. Here is more details about it: https://www.eldos.com/forum/read.php?FID=13&TID=3809

Upon further testing, we are experiencing these problems:
1. It is very slow.
2. We could not save even a single text file. ( connection failure )
3. Word Documents can't be opened. It says that the file might be corrupted.

We tried changing the DiskType to Network but it gives an Invalid Parameter Error

We noticed in the logs that it enumerates every sub folder of the drive, which is causing it to slow down, is there something we can do to enumerate only the directory that is opened by the user? Since the request/callback sent by the user's action and explorer's request is identical.

These are the problems of the sample. It's new and not well tested. We will fix the bugs there.

Ok, please let us know as soon as you fixed it. We are really considering on buying the products, we would want to make sure that we tried everything here to make it work before moving to another possible solution. thanks
